SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Detects the current runtime surface and adapts agent spawning to the available tooling, ensuring reliable orchestration across CLI and VS Code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Platform Detection: identifies the active surface (CLI or VS Code) and selects the correct spawning flow.
  • Adaptive Spawning: uses task-based spawning in CLI mode and runSubagent-based spawning in VS Code mode.
  • Safe Fallbacks: provides inline execution when neither surface tools are available, with graceful degradation.
  • Use Case: deploying agents in a local development environment with VS Code, or in a CLI CI pipeline without IDE integration.

Quick Start

Detect your environment and spawn agents using the appropriate tool.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect the runtime surface and adapt agent spawning for CLI and VS Code?▼

Platform detection identifies the active surface and selects the correct spawning flow, using task-based spawning in CLI mode and runSubagent-based spawning in VS Code mode.

What happens to cross-platform agent orchestration when neither CLI nor VS Code tools are available?▼

When neither surface tool is available, adaptive spawning provides safe fallbacks through inline execution with graceful degradation to maintain cross-surface orchestration.

Can I use subagents in a CLI CI pipeline without VS Code IDE integration?▼

Yes, you can deploy agents in a CLI CI pipeline without IDE integration, as platform detection identifies the CLI surface and applies task-based spawning accordingly.

How does adaptive spawning handle parameter passing across different development surfaces?▼

Adaptive spawning requires awareness of available tools and applies proper parameter handling alongside cross-surface safety rules to ensure reliable orchestration across surfaces.

When should I use inline execution fallback instead of runSubagent spawning?▼

Inline execution fallback should be used when platform detection determines that neither CLI task-based spawning nor VS Code runSubagent-based spawning tools are available.
